Oswalt 1964: 424-425. An alternative candidate is tʰiy 'big' [O'Connor 1987: 246]. Cf. the following sentences: "She is bigger (mato) than her horse is", "Her feet are bigger (tʰiy) than her horse's feet" [ibid.]. According to O'Connor, "[t]he difference in the adjectives glossed "big" results in the shape and dimensions of the objects being compared" [ibid.].

Oswalt 1964: 424-425; Oswalt 1961: 113-114. Subjective form. Morphophonemic shape {□ʔa: ~ □ʔa}. The allomorph ʔaː occurs in isolation or before an enclitic. Elsewhere, ʔa is usually used, but ʔaː is also possible. Objective form: t̪oː ~ t̪o (morphophonemic shape {□toː ~ □to}; distribution of long and short allomorphs same as in the subjective form).

Oswalt 1964: 424-425; Oswalt 1961: 160. Polysemy: 'to kill / to beat up'. Morphophonemic shape {pʰa=kʼu-°m-}. Apparently contains the instrumental prefix pʰa= 'with the end of a long object, with the fist' [Oswalt 1961: 144] and 'supraterrestrial' suffix {-°m-} ("...usually means that the action takes place in one spot off the ground or floor, but it also has diverse abstract meanings") [Oswalt 1961: 158].

Oswalt 1964: 424-425. This verb belongs to the following set of forms: mi=ti- 'one to be lying on the ground or floor', ba=ti- 'several to be lying on the ground or floor', mi=ma- 'one to be lying on a bed', ba=ma- 'several to be lying on a bed' [Oswalt 1961: 161]. Apparently, mi= and ba= are unproductive prefixes.

Oswalt 1964: 426-427. Another candidate is biteš 'head louse' [Oswalt 1961: 26]. The gloss 'head louse' for biteš, however, may be a mistake, since [McLendon 1973: 80] glosses ʔahči as 'head louse' and biteš as 'body louse'.

McLendon 1996: 546. "Negative questions, requests, supplications, exhortations, and statements are all formed by placing the negative verb kʰúy- as the first, or more usually, the second, constituent of the negative sentence. The appropriate independent verb-forming suffixes are added to the negative verb, not the semantic main verb" [McLendon 1996: 532].

McLendon 1996: 528. The system of demonstrative pronouns in Eastern Pomo includes mˈe 'this, this one' (referent is close to speaker), ʔˈo 'that one, that one over there' (referent is at a distance from speaker) and bˈa 'that, that one' (referent is particular, at some distance, animate) [ibid.]. In the English - Eastern Pomo glossary 'that' is translated as bˈa [McLendon 1996: 549]. Nevertheless, we choose ʔˈo, because this pronoun does not require that its referent be animate.
